Re: Devotchka

Devotchka, I saw them at ACL 07, in first row!
They were great, I was expecting more but it was a pretty good show.
Full of energy!
Eventhough they have awesome cds, set list was incomplete.
I ll be there again!

Re: Devotchka

i've seen them three times. they were great each time. they're not punk, they fuse mariachi and like...well just different types of music together to form this unique sound...they're so good. i recommend "How It Ends", because it has more mainstream sounding tunes than my favorite, "Una Volta", which is noisier and not as easy to listen when you first hear it. great band, i'm so excited to see them again! = )

Re: Devotchka

Add Dearly Departed to that list, that song is fucking beautiful. Get "How It Ends" if you want a more indie rock oriented album with some mariachi elements and get any of their previous albums if you want the straight mariachi stuff.

Re: Devotchka

I've seen Devotchka twice...once was at Bumbershoot in Seattle which was outdoors...and both times they were absolutely amazing! I couldn't even listen to the radio on the way home after hearing them perform...nothing else even sounds like music after that!

Re: Devotchka

Saw them at Avalon and it was awesome. great live show and energy complete w/ cirque de soleil type acrobatics through the air. def a vagabond circus type atmosphere. Their cover of "Venus in Furs" is AMAZING.

Re: Devotchka

Ok just checked out some of their songs on Napster. They must not be missed. "Enemy Guns", "26 Temptations, "Such a lovely thing" mbs up: Could see some of these songs being in a Tarantino movie. Live, I'm sure they'll provide a great atmosphere in the desert!
